What is Bowenwork?

A gentle set of moves done over specific muscles, nerves, tendons, & ligaments with short rest periods between moves developed by the late Tom Bowen from Geelong, Australia. 

Ossie Rentsch met Tom in 1974 and began learning his techniques; consequently he was able to start teaching with his wife Elaine in 1986.

The technique is so effective and addresses a wide array of complaints that 32 countries have practitioners.

How it Works:

- Bowen addresses the whole body by restoring balance thru the autonomic nervous system shifting from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic which is your Rest, Relax and Repair mode.

- It is also believed that the stretch reflex, joint proprioceptors, superficial fascia, segmental viscerosomatic spinal reflexes, acupuncture & meridian points, along with harmonic vibration also play important roles.   

- The lymphatic system is activated, thereby stimulating the immune system.

- Detoxification may occur during a Bowenwork session, which in turn improves functioning at the cellular level.
